21st Dec 2001

Orbitz, the travel Web site
of American, Continental, Delta, Northwest and United airlines, has licensed
FareChase`s new MarketView(TM) Software, designed to proactively assist travel
suppliers and distributors in decision-making in the new Internet economy.

Orbitz will use MarketView(TM) to gauge how robust its search engine
performs in delivering “best-priced” itineraries compared to its competition
in the travel marketplace. Existing methods of manually searching a variety
of sites to understand online market dynamics, such as airfares and
availability, are time-consuming and expensive, and usually provide inaccurate
data.

The airfare data collected by Orbitz using MarketView(TM) will lend
decision-making support to Orbitz as it focuses on serving its most valuable
customers. Since MarketView is easily customizable, Orbitz will have the
flexibility to select Web sites to examine, date windows, city pairs, and
other relevant travel information.

MarketView(TM) is FareChase`s newest product based on its Web automation
technology that performs scalable, real-time searches of travel inventory
across the Internet.

“Orbitz is committed to offering customers the most low fares and wants to
understand best practices in the delivery of the lowest-priced travel
itineraries. We are focused on meeting and anticipating our customer`s
expectations,” said Steve Hafner, Orbitz Vice President, Business Development.

“MarketView(TM) arms Orbitz with the tools to accurately compare what our
customers` search results display with that of our competition, and to
identify major improvement opportunities,” added Hafner.

“MarketView(TM) is a unique reporting tool which provides the travel
industry with a snapshot of airfare inventory and a process to measure
performance,” said Krista Pappas, FareChase Sr. Vice President for Strategic
Planning and Partnerships.

Pappas explained: “The MarketView(TM) technology retrieves data
automatically, in real-time and converts critical information which is
frequently too abundant to be useful, into meaningful intelligence.
MarketView(TM) offers Orbitz the ability to gain knowledge and new ideas to
develop better services to meet the needs of its customers and improve their
cycle time and quality of services.”
